"This is what you want!" A man wearing a monocle came to Ms. Octopus.

And the researchers who discussed technology with Ms. Octopus yesterday were all lying in a pool of blood. Just now, this man led his men to kill all the members of this laboratory.

Ms. Octopus looked at the gay researcher lying on the ground with pity. Yesterday, she was still thinking about having a passionate exchange with him. As a result, he just died in front of her.

"What a pity."

"What a pity?" the man asked.

"No matter when, a smart brain with a handsome face is a scarce product. It's a waste. And those people, they are all great people, smart enough. It's a pity that they are all dead now." Ms. Octopus raised her head and looked at the man: "Are you Baron Stella?"

"Hello, ma'am." The man replied in German.

Ms. Octopus stared at the man with wide eyes: "**?"

This thing is really rare for Ms. Octopus.

"It used to be, but that's not the point. The point is our cooperation." Baron Stella curled his lips and did not continue the topic. After all, ** failed. No one wants to talk about their failure.

"Yes, cooperation." Ms. Octopus looked at the dead researchers: "But why did you kill these people? You know, I still like them, and they have a lot of experience in my project."

"We will equip you with better assistants!" Baron Stella said confidently. "After all, our existence is top secret, and anyone who is not trusted must be eliminated."

That's what he said, but it's not the case in reality.

Baron Stella just wants to better control Dr. Otto in front of him, so that she and her technology can be used for him.

Of course, this is an ideal state. If it doesn't work... then it's acceptable to keep her technology, so all her research and experiments need to be completed under their supervision. If there are some accidents that no one wants to see, then the assistants around her are the best supplement.

Ms. Octopus showed a meaningful smile at the corner of her mouth. Baron Stella knew that this woman saw it.

But what if she saw it?

Does she dare to refuse?

The fact is that Ms. Octopus didn't refuse.

"I hope your people are really smart enough."

"Then, happy cooperation?" Baron Stella smiled as if everything was under my control.

"Of course!"

Soon Ms. Octopus followed Baron Stella's men and left.

When Ms. Octopus disappeared from his sight, Baron Stella waved his hand: "Carl Creel, you will be responsible for protecting her from now on."

A bald muscular man nodded after hearing Baron Stella's order.

He walked towards the direction where Ms. Octopus left without saying a word.

Carl Creel was once a boxer. But he retired. By the way, he has some relationship with Daredevil Matt Murdock. Back then, Matt Murdock's father Jack Murdock was asked by gang members to deliberately lose the game in a boxing match.

And the opponent of that game was the fledgling Carl Creel.

As a result, Jack Murdock decided to be a role model for his son, so he went all out in this game and defeated Carl Creel.

Then Jack Murdoch, who caused the gang to lose a large sum of money, was shot, and Carl Creel, who also caused the gang to lose money, was not doing well. He was forced to owe the gang a large debt and could only fight for his life in various black boxing rings.

He didn't want to live that kind of life, so he decided to run away, but was caught by the gang and almost died.

But the gang still didn't intend to let him go.

In order to recover some losses, the gang sold him to human traffickers. After all, his kidneys and other organs can also be sold for money.

As a result, Hydra just happened to lack "volunteers" for human experiments.

So with his good physical fitness, he was bought by Hydra.

Then in Baron Stella's mutant experiment, he survived and had superpowers.

His code name is Absorbing Man.

He can imitate any material he has touched by changing the molecular structure of his body. During the imitation process, his strength, endurance, and ability to withstand blows have been improved to varying degrees. When imitating and assimilating certain special materials, its ability to change shape will be limited.

In short, this guy is a universal shapeshifter, very awesome.

With him watching, there should be no accidents.

"Boss, if we do this, Mr. Pierce..." One of Baron Stella's men finally couldn't help but speak out his concerns.

Baron Stella is the leader of Hydra in Europe, and he is only the leader in Eastern Europe. There are people in Western Europe and Northern Europe. Alexander Pierce is the leader of the entire North American continent, including the entire South American region.

Although everyone is equal in status, Baron Stella is even stronger than Pierce in identity and qualifications.

But Hydra doesn't value this thing.

Everyone follows the principle that whoever has strength is the boss.

There is no doubt that Pierce is the most powerful among the Hydra leaders, so overall, Pierce has a lot of say in Hydra.

"Huh! Pierce is old! Look what he is doing now? He is either playing golf or socializing with various politicians all day long. He has been beaten for a long time!"

Baron Stella clearly has disdain for Pierce.

In fact, Baron Stella did look down on juniors like Pierce. When he held the leadership position in HYDRA, Pierce was nothing more than a HYDRA spy in the United States. He was just a little brat, but others later became prosperous and the United States won. He used various methods to get a large number of Hydra members to the United States, so Hydra's resources began to be tilted toward him.

Going out to hang out requires power.

So in the past, even if Stella didn’t think highly of the other party, she could only bow her head.

But what about now?

As SHIELD was purged due to the failure of the Insight Project, countless Hydra members were purged, which also caused the power under Pierce's control to begin to shrink significantly.

At this time, the Hydras in other regions would not show any sympathy or help to Pierce.

Everyone is adding insult to injury.

The interests of the Hydra branch controlled by Pierce were greatly embezzled.

As if Pierce had really entered retirement life, he actually adopted a default stance towards such behavior.

For an organization like Hydra, which has a dark background, your concession represents weakness.

And if you are weak, don't blame others for taking action.

This is what Stella thinks and does.

He wants to set foot in the fat land of the United States.

As the most powerful country in the world, even if the United States has been hit hard several times in a row, it still cannot change the fact that it is a golden land. Since Pierce is dead, what's the problem if they come to occupy this place?

But is it really true that Peirce was afraid of being beaten?

…

"Baron Stella... humph, he is indeed the veteran of our Hydra. His shameless spirit of turning his back on others is indeed worth learning from us, the younger generation."

Pierce sat in his villa and listened to the clairvoyant's report through the screen.

But judging from his expression, Pierce didn't seem very worried.

"Then shall we respond to him?" Qianliyan's face was also very gloomy. After all, everyone would feel unhappy if someone stepped on their own territory.

"Respond to him? What are you going to do?" Pierce asked with interest.

"Of course it makes him look good!"

The clairvoyant's dark face showed a sinister expression.

"Haha, don't be so grumpy. After all, we are in the same boat. Fighting among ourselves is not a good thing."

Pierce said cheerfully.

It's really like an old man who has lost his energy after retirement.

The whole person looked peaceful.

"Sir!" Clairvoyant didn't believe that his boss would behave in a down-to-earth manner.

"I really didn't plan to do anything...and, dear Garrett." Pierce showed a smile, and then talked about another thing: "Do you know what the dilemma we are facing now?"

"Our strength is seriously insufficient." Regarding this matter, Garrett was clear about it. In the past, Clairvoyance could only be regarded as an auxiliary organization. Under the cover of SHIELD, it secretly did things to collect funds for the organization. For such an organization, it is destined that its peripheral organizations will not be very elite, and may even be a bit of a mixed bag.

After all, he is just a tool to make money.

But now that such a force has become so important, it speaks volumes.

"That's right! So what should we do?" Pierce asked again.

"Of course we are secretly developing our power, just like we did before." Garrett replied without even thinking about it.

"How long will it take?" Pierce put away his smile and asked seriously: "Ten years, twenty years, or another sixty years?"

This method is certainly feasible, and with Pierce's cooperation, the risk is not high.

The only problem is that this takes a lot of time, especially after Project Insight, SHIELD's review mechanism has become extremely strict. This will undoubtedly greatly hinder their plans to regain strength. And more importantly, they lack credible manpower! After all, cultivating reserve members requires more than just time.

If things continue like this, it will take god knows how many years to regain strength.

Anyway, Pierce was not confident that he could complete this plan before his death.

"There's nothing we can do about it, we are severely short of manpower."

"But isn't it there now?" Pierce laughed again.

Look at Pierce's twinkling eyes.

Garrett immediately understood what Pierce meant.

“You mean, swallow up Stella’s power?”

"Hey, don't say it so harshly. After all, Baron Stella is already very old, and Hydra is not a demonic organization. We can't always let those old seniors shine, right? It's time to let him rest, he We will reluctantly recruit them if we don’t have enough manpower.”

The people under Stella are all elites who have withstood the test.

If these people can be recruited, it means that the American part of Hydra can replenish its strength as quickly as possible.

"It's just that this old guy is not easy to deal with." Garrett then said another objective fact.

Baron Strucker was born in Bavaria in the late 19th century. When he grew up, he joined the Nazi Party. He, Red Skull and Baron Zemo became the favorites of Hitler. He is so old! He has witnessed countless conspiracies.

At the same time, after Baron Strucker was infected with the death spore virus, he has many superpowers. This special virus gives him super strong resistance to physical attacks. Conventional small-caliber weapons, cold weapons and falls from high places cannot hurt him at all. Not only that, it can also delay aging and have a strong regeneration factor. Ordinary physical injuries can heal quickly, but he cannot regenerate limbs or organs. Baron Strucker is also immune to all diseases and viruses on Earth.

Baron Strucker can release the death spore virus, which can kill targets within a certain range in an instant. The death spore virus can also enhance his physical properties and speed up the regeneration of his wounds. If Baron Strucker is killed, the death spore virus will automatically detach from the host and spread through the air, which can pose a fatal threat to life on Earth.

In addition, he has been studying how to mutate ordinary people into superpowers for many years.

Although the success rate is not high, he has indeed accomplished some things over the years. For example, the Winter Soldier Team, and his new mutant team.

These make his background unfathomable.

He is not an opponent that can be easily dealt with.

"Of course, of course, I know. But Garrett, everyone in this world has weaknesses, and our Lord Baron Stella is no exception." Pierce said, and operated on the computer, and a document was sent to Garrett.

"Werner von Strucker?"

The document is a detailed profile of a man.

Werner von Strucker in the photo has the characteristics of a pure German, with blond hair, fair skin, tall stature, and a slightly melancholy temperament. The "von" in his name shows that he comes from an aristocratic family.

American, but the information shows that his parents are Norwegian immigrants, and his family is well-off. He himself is also very motivated. He was admitted to MIT at a young age and is an engineer. He is married and will soon welcome his first child. He now lives in Orono, Maine, and runs a farm, which is his wife's family's property.

It can be said that he is a very happy person, but that's all.

"Straker... What is his relationship with Baron Stella?"

Baron Stella's real name is Wolfgang von Straker, and this person is Werner von Straker. It's hard not to connect the two.

"What do you think?"

"Grandson?" Garrett remembered that Baron Stella had descendants, but they all seemed to be dead.

"No, that's his son, his biological son."
